Bai Ye's New Skill-Healing Wind
"Those two have entered the Gods's Ruins. Should we follow them?"
Seeing Bai Ye and Xiao's actions, Venti stood up and asked Zhongli a question.
He really wanted to see what the old man's skills were like.
Of course, as long as you don't lay a hand on him, it's fine.
"No need for that," Zhongli, drinking his tea with peace of mind.
"If it were any other Gods, I would need to think about it. But this Emet is the easiest Gods for Bai Ye to deal with. Let's wait and see what news he brings."
Her greatest ability is life value transfer, and this ability was stolen by Bai Ye, so what is there to worry about?
Venti saw that Zhongli wasn't in a hurry, so he continued to lie on the grass and rest.
What were the scenes like in the several Archon Residue Ruins I visited before?
Chaos, savagery, and a chilling aura filled the air; just being there was enough to induce a profound sense of unease. Under a gloomy sky, on a land teeming with monsters, Bai Ye was destined to engage in various battles with them the moment he entered.
Bai Ye and Xiao had the same thought before they entered. However, after they entered the place where this Archon Residue was, they instantly felt that it was very different from before.
The scenery outside Guyun Domain is far superior.
A lush forest, the trees were incredibly tall. The grass was also lush and verdant. They were taller than both Bai Ye and Xiao; from a distance, they were practically invisible except for Bai Ye's high ponytail.
It's quite suitable as an ambush site for two people.
Bai Ye would never admit to any of this.
He turned his gaze to Xiao, who was standing to the side, and asked him, "Xiao, how are you feeling?"
"I feel..." Xiao paused for a moment, then honestly said, "I feel great right now. The environment here doesn't seem to be affected by the aura of Gods on the verge of death at all; on the contrary, it's repairing my body."
Bai Ye and Xiao walked through the grass to the edge of the woods.
Here, they saw many Hilichurl.
Bai Ye and Xiao immediately drew their weapons. However, the Hilichurl completely ignored Bai Ye and Xiao, and continued to rest under the tree.
"What's going on?"
Bai Ye asked in confusion.
The voice of Hagintos rang in his ears.
"The life force here is too strong, which has caused these guys to lose the ability to move."
"What's the meaning?"
Bai Ye said with some surprise.
Hagintos explained, "It's these life-giving energies that are constantly entering the bodies of these monsters, causing their bodies to grow continuously. All the strength in their bodies is focused on physical development, leaving them with no strength to even move. Over time, they even lose the strength to think."
"They Chang Sheng here, their life force constantly being infused, as if the life force will never end."
So, Bai Ye thought about something.
"Wait, teacher, if that's the case, does that mean I'm growing taller by relying on this life force?!"
Is it possible to grow to 1.8 meters tall here?
No, 1.7 meters is fine too...
Hagintos struck him again.
"Don't think about it. Your physique is not affected by the Gods energy, so it won't be affected by its power either. You can absorb this life force, but it won't promote the growth of your body's cells."
"So it's completely useless?"
"How is that possible? Once you obtain the Emet power, you can control these life forces at will. At that time, you can store them in your body and use them on yourself or others whenever needed."
So, I've gained another healing skill, right?
Bai Ye thought to himself.
Moreover, this power is crucial for reviving the teacher in the future. He must build a body for the teacher in the future. Gundam-like things are a joke; the closest real bodies Bai Ye can think of are Inazuma's Raiden Shogun and the Fatui's Harbinger Scaramouche.
Their bodies are extremely close to real ones.
It would be acceptable for the teacher to use such a body to recreate the body. However, since the teacher is Gods, not a creation from scratch, even if I were to use a doll to create the teacher's body, I would still need to infuse it with a life force.
Hagintos also came up with a suggestion, reminding Bai Ye:
"Oh, right, this life force can also help you restore your stamina. From now on, you won't have to worry about running out of stamina in battle because of your body."
While he was still thinking, Xiao looked around and came back.
Xiao said to Bai Ye, "We must obtain the power of the Gods quickly. Otherwise, we will also fall into unconsciousness like the other demons here."
In fact, Xiao was already starting to feel that way. If it weren't for his strong willpower, he probably would have been lying down and quietly enjoying it by now.
This feeling was so torturous that Xiao decided to get rid of the root cause immediately.
Bai Ye also wanted to obtain Emet's power as soon as possible, so he nodded and agreed to go with Xiao to the depths of the Archon Residue.
The two set off, and the Hilichurl in the forest were asleep, so they naturally wouldn't wake up and cause any trouble for Bai Ye and Xiao.
After traversing the jungle, the two arrived at the next area.
Ahead lay a vast body of water. Bai Ye and Xiao glanced at it and realized that this body of water was connected to the outside world. Seawater from near Guyun Domain poured into it.
Even from the outside, you can see many enormous fish. Unlike the grove we were in before, the fish here are very active, as if they might jump out at any moment.
"There are some differences between the seawater and the land," Bai Ye said to Xiao.
"Here, Xiao, take this."
As he said this, he took out a wooden kite from his bosom, intending to use it to carry him and Xiao away from the water from mid-air.
"Um."
Xiao nodded, then took the wooden kite from Bai Ye and tied it around his waist.
The wooden kite took flight, intending to carry the two away from the waters. Bai Ye and Xiao initially thought they would leave smoothly, just like they had been in the forest. However, just as Bai Ye was halfway there, a gaping, bloody maw emerged from the water.
Bai Ye and Xiao looked closely and saw that it was a huge sea monster.
Then, the water began to boil, and one after another, sea monsters and fish with extremely sharp teeth leaped out, trying to bite Bai Ye and Xiao off.
These sea creatures and fish are much larger than those in other places, and this is all thanks to Emet's power.
The area wasn't very high up, so Bai Ye and Xiao couldn't directly increase their flight altitude to leave. Seeing this, Xiao grabbed Bai Ye's arm.
"Come on, make good use of your elemental power." He said to Bai Ye, "Next, hurry up and take care of the remnants of that Gods. I'll cover your retreat here."
Having said that, he unleashed his full power, throwing Bai Ye away. Bai Ye didn't hesitate at all, unleashing his own power and flying towards the shore.
With the help of the two winds, they quickly reached the shore.
"We need to hurry up."
Looking back, Bai Ye saw Xiao fighting against the sea beasts. The young Adepti was wielding a long spear, battling amidst the giant sea beasts, each attack accompanied by a sea beast falling to the ground.
The water was stained red with blood. Seeing this, Bai Ye knew he couldn't waste any more time. He prepared his weapons and traps and set off ahead.
Continuing on, after crossing a certain boundary, Bai Ye suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
This place instantly transformed into a region where the machine disappeared.
It was still a vast expanse of land and water, but now, countless skeletons lay scattered across the land, and fish carcasses littered the waters. For thousands of years, the machines Emet had seized all originated from here. The Gods's lover, after his death, caused countless lives to vanish.
Hagintos, seeing this as well, immediately urged Bai Ye, "Let's quickly resolve this matter here."
"Um."
Suppressing the putrid stench emanating from the dead, Bai Ye traversed this region.
Then, they ventured deep into the Archon Residue.
Over here, a gigantic whale-like creature was perched on a high platform. Its mouth opened and closed repeatedly. When it opened its mouth, Bai Ye saw streams of life energy enter its mouth from the outside, and then when it closed its mouth, the life energy would gush out again.
Bai Ye arrived beside the remains of the Gods.
"Where does this guy's power lie?" Bai Ye asked his teacher, observing the situation.
"I guess it's inside this huge fish carcass."
"Hagintos said."
"Shall we go inside?"
"At this point, this is the only way."
Bai Ye glanced at the enormous mouth of the Gods's mangled body, gritted his teeth, and charged inside.
"Damn, I need to get this power myself quickly."
As soon as it entered his mouth, Bai Ye felt a wave of nausea.
Then he took out a flywheel, and several flywheels unfolded, cutting forward.
In the water, Xiao wielded his spear, each strike taking the life of a sea monster.
Some sea creatures tried to lure Xiao into the sea, but he always anticipated their attempts and easily evaded them.
They could even fire two more shots at the sea monsters.
"Phew~, it's been a long time since I fought against monsters in the ocean. I'm really not used to it."
Xiao thought to himself.
During the initial Archon War, the enemies from the sea came riding the waves. At first, Zhongli was not used to fighting them and lost a lot of manpower.
However, the situation only stabilized after Xiao and the others got used to fighting the sea monsters.
Having not fought many sea monsters for thousands of years, Xiao was initially a bit rusty, but then his body's memories surfaced, and he easily used various methods to deal with his enemies in the ocean.
The demon weaved through the sea monsters, using its wind element to leap and fall repeatedly.
However, upon landing on the back of one of the sea monsters, Xiao's expression changed. This creature's body was completely different from the other sea monsters.
His foot slipped, and he lost his balance. Just then, another sea monster lunged at Xiao's arm.
Right at this critical juncture.
The sea beast that was about to bite Xiao stopped moving, its entire body withering instantly before Xiao's eyes, and then fell into the sea. Not only this one sea beast, but all the sea beasts that were boiling around Xiao stopped moving, and then they all visibly aged.
Xiao turned his head and saw Bai Ye standing on the shore. In his hand, he held up a huge arm, and on the arm, a heart even larger than the arm was beating continuously.
This...
Xiao is a bit strange.
Summoning the last bit of power in his body, Xiao leaped to Bai Ye's side.
"What's going on?"
He sat on the ground and asked Bai Ye.
"Just as you thought, I have obtained the power of the Gods Emet."
Bai Ye pointed to his heart and said.
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh. He had previously thought that the core of the Gods's power was like the bone in Bai Ye's hand and Huyrria's broken sword. But after searching all over Emet's body, Bai Ye actually discovered that the power was actually in her heart.
How big is the heart of Gods with a whale-like body? Bai Ye couldn't estimate it by sight, but it was definitely taller than Bai Ye himself.
This is really troublesome.
Bai Ye wanted to use his powers to simply hold down the handle, but using his powers was very difficult.
Just then, Hagintos reminded him to take out the bones of the other Gods and have Bai Ye infuse them with life force.
Do as instructed Bai Ye.
Then, in his vision, the bone transformed into an arm.
That's good.
Bai Ye simultaneously wielded the powers of two Gods. Bai Ye could even use them without employing Art of Automata.
The Gods's arm was causing damage to Bai Ye, and Bai Ye was repairing it using Emet's heart. The two sides were perfectly balanced; aside from the pain, there were no adverse reactions.
Holding the heart in his arms, Bai Ye arrived at the edge of the water.
Seeing that Xiao was in danger, Bai Ye immediately used Emet's power to drain the life force of the sea beasts. These sea beasts all relied on the life force of the Gods, so they were naturally considered the Gods's subordinates. Bai Ye, controlling Emet's heart, could easily manipulate their life force.
Looking at Xiao, who was panting heavily, Bai Ye asked him, "Xiao, we're comrades, right?"
"Um,"
Xiao didn't know why Bai Ye asked that, but he still nodded in agreement.
"Good."
Bai Ye nodded.
This is the scope within which the powers of the Gods can be used.
Bai Ye immediately unleashed his Gods powers.
A gust of wind blew past Xiao.
Xiao instantly felt all the wounds on his body heal, and the stamina he had previously consumed was also fully replenished.
He stood up, feeling as if he had never fought.
"This is?"
"This is a skill I developed using the power of Gods. Hmm, it's called Healing Wind."
Bai Ye replied.
Healing Wind that can both heal wounds and restore physical strength.
Etc,
After saying the name, Bai Ye suddenly felt that the name was a bit strange.
Can it restore physical strength? Healing Wind?
Does Nanami possess healing abilities?
Bai Ye thought to himself, "This is ridiculous."
She's a juicer, but what about me?
While he was internally complaining, Hagintos was overjoyed to see the results.
"Yes, the effect is really good. My body might even be stronger than before in the future."
She said excitedly.
Her own physical weakness was a source of great distress, but now that Bai Ye could help her obtain a stronger body, Hagintos was overjoyed.
